Wairarapa and Lower Hawke’s Bay veterans of World War One
As part of this year’s 100 years since the Armistice the Masterton RSA had crosses made for each of the people who had died overseas during that war from the wider area. These were displayed in Masterton over the past four years. They were offered to relatives following the centenary and a number were presented at the Masterton RSA tonight 4 December 2018. I collected the one for my father’s cousin who was in the Cycling Corps and now buried in France. There are still over 200 that are unclaimed. Please contact the Masterton RSA for further details who will keep them until Anzac Day 2019. After that it was agreed to leave them on Trust with the local Menz Shed (who made them) and they will pass them also onto relatives. It was a lovely ceremony.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
Builder Wanted or seeking builder (LBP).
We are looking for a semi-retired builder or solo LBP to supervise / co-work with me while I undertake an extension project as a self-build . Rates to be negotiated prior to commencement. Currently in the design stage at present with Architect. I have experience from past house builds so not a raw beginner, both in design and construction.
Thanks Phil
Wild weather in Wellington
Wellington’s wild weather is really making itself known — trains and flights are being cancelled, and drivers are being reminded to take it slow and stay safe out there.
